Greece – Beautiful islands and ancient history

From the busy streets of its capital, Athens, to the quietest uninhabited islands, this country has a multitude of attractions for the tourist.

Around 20 million tourists every year, many of whom come for the combination of things to see and do – the beautiful summer weather makes many parts a ‘sun and sand’ destination, and there’s a huge number of beautiful beach resorts to stay in if this is your thing.

Villages with whitewashed homes and buildings really are abundant in Greece, especially on its islands, while ancient history can be explored just about everywhere you look.

Then there’s the cuisine – Greek food has made its way around the world but when you visit Greece you have the opportunity to sample some truly authentic Grecian foods.

Athens – the capital of Greece

Athens is today a very cosmopolitan city which is the capital and largest city of Greece.

It is also Greece’s cultural, financial, and economic heart, and to the outside world it is best known for its ancient history.

Athens has some of the most famous ancient ruins in the world and many tourists come primarily to see these – the Parthenon is the best known and it’s at the centre of one of Athens’ World Heritage Sites, the Acropolis of Athens.

Greek Cuisine

Many of the world’s towns and cities now feature at least one Greek restaurant. The cuisine of Greece is extremely popular and it’s mainly very healthy too.

Olive oil features almost everywhere and Greek specialities include souvlaki, spanakopita, moussaka, and tzatziki. You’ll also find lots of fresh fish and seafood – try octopus and squid (calamari) for something a little different.
